that's a pretty odd language construction, when you think about it.
"to weird out"
crazy californian english.
"to weird out". "moded". "dude" used as all parts of speech.
surfers + valley girls = MASS LEXICON HYSTERIA! CATS AND DOGS LIVING TOGETHER!
"moded" is so impossible to explain
it's so idiosyncratic and situational
one of those "you know the feeling when.." and you have to use like a whole paragraph to describe an emotion, which everyone knows what it's like, but actually talking about it fails
"if you have to ask, you'll never know"
to demonstrate the understanding we all have:

lunylucy: *posts hilarious parody icon of dumbles shouting all ooc "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THAT GOBLET OF FIRE???*
me: DUDE!
lunylucy: DUUUDE!
me: This concludes the test of the emergency Californian language system.
lunylucy: It, like, totally hella does.

here I thought moving to the US, I'd already know the language.. but.. I'm gonna have to become bilingual after all

esmestrella says:
you can already get by in Dude.
you know enough to say "dude, where's the bathroom?" and "how do I get to the hotel, dude?" and "I think, dude, that I'll have the chicken fingers."
